yes it does the bar at the side tells you how much you have earned so far this month,and is only reset at the sart of the month for that months c4ps any poker points u use will not affect you c4ps payment in any way and when the bar is cleared u will still have those points
go too the free bets section and it will show how many points u have under tokens poker held funds in the box under the log out button hope that helps
Rewards payments are based on how many points you earn in the month, if you spend points it does not affect your payment - you will notice the points bar does not move when you do spend them. We points deduct them from your balance once the payment is made as you highlighted. At the moment, if you spend them during the month before we do this, you've benefitted which is fine.
Looks like you've misunderstood how this works.

It is not compulsary to opt into the Sky Poker Rewards scheme, if people do not want to be rewarded by exchanging points for a cash bonus, they dont have to. Most do opt in because they like it. If you dont want to be part of the promo, that's fine.
The benefit is that we previously referred to is basically that we do not take the points away if people have spent them (its a goodwill gesture and easier that way), they are there to use until the end of the month.
answer me please !!!!!!!!!!!
cheers :@)
Good grief, what an extraordinary thread. I suppose it reflects the internet world fairly accurately.
I always try to be polite, and that makes it quite awkward to explain some things in a manner which does not cause offence. But no offence is intended, so I hope this is taken in that spirit on this occasion.
We have a two-way street here.
Players - Clients - have a choice. If they like what this site - or any other site - offers, they stay. If they don't, they leave. That's their perfect right. Nobody can complain, they are exercising their right to choose. People leave poker sites - for a variety of reasons - every day. And new players come along. It was & will always be so. The plan is that more people join than leave. Simple.
The Site does a lot of things to try & ensure those two things remain in reasonable balance, or positive.
This includes all the Promotional activities - including Freerolls, Rewards Points & Related Promos, Happy Hours, the TV Channel, the Jackpot, & loads more besides.
It does not give away that money because it is run by nice people - it does so to attract new players, & to incentivise those already here to stay here, play more, or play more frequently. That's the bare truth.
If it has given money, via Freerolls, say, to players over many years, & some of those players just exploit the system by not playing more, or for longer, & never depositing cash on the site, it makes no sense to keep giving them money, because there is zero payback. That money will still get spent as part of the Promotional budget, but it will just be spent in a different area, where it works better, & does what it is intended to do.
Why would it ever make sense to keep giving money to those who don't intend to ever Deposit on the Site? These things are reviewed all the time.
"Was or is there a reasonable payback or benefit to the Business if we do this that or the other?"
If "yes", more of the same ensues. Of "no", then they divert that cash into an area of Promotion where it works better.
A glance at the "PROMOTIONS" Page shows a dozen or more different Promos at any given time. They all offer some sort of enhanced benefit to players, & they all cost money. They are reviewed all the time, & adjusted to what works best. The ideal Promo does it's job by getting more players to play more often, or for longer, in return for a tangible benefit.
The Promos that fail that test are reviewed & adjusted, or even discontinued. I can't imagine any Business would do any different. It's no different to "Offers" from Tesco or Sainsbury, Vodafone or 02, or any other Business.
Tesco had Baked Beans on offer last week, this week they reverted to the original, higher, price for Baked Beans, but cut the price of Eggs. I expect they got a lot of grumpy letters from those who wanted the discounted Baked Beans, but not a word from the happy egg eaters. The tug of war between Clients & Suppliers is a perpetual one, & a very good thing it is, too, as it benefits both parties.
I agree that this sentence is worded badly but you have taken this one sentence and ignored all the othe times on the promo page where it says rewards will be paid on points EARNED.
I don't see why players are allowed to potentially join the site (with £20 free tournament credit!) and only ever enter the freeroll to earn cash for nothing.
Putting a points entry free on the freeroll rewards players who actually play other tournaments on the site, but have found themselves going through a hard time and need a little free cash boost! :-)
(Not that I've got anything against new players getting the points to play the freerolls, I hasten to add)
